I did two batch. On the second batch I melt the butter and the cookies came out less tough to bite. Both were good. It was a hit. Recipe is a keeper.

So my mother just came home to the US from her annual trip to Singapore, and she brought back me a jar of Almond Corn flake Cookies from Devine.sg. Upon tasting these, I knew I couldn’t wait a year to have them again and started looking for recipes. :) I found your recipe and immediately whipped up a batch. The texture and taste of this recipe comes pretty close to the Devines, though, theirs are a slight bit sweeter.
A couple of things I’m noting to improve next time to close the gap:
–Cream the butter/sugar for a full 4 minutes (I was lazy and just used the handmixer until they combined, not until the mixture was light, fluffy and full of air pockets)
–Add a bit more sugar, or possibly use the frosties idea to subtly sweeten the cookies
–Smaller cookies had a nice drier crunchier texture throughout than larger ones that I made
Conversions I used for any having trouble with Metric:
7/8 cup butter (Two tablespoons less than 2 sticks if you go by the packaging measurements)
2/3 cup sugar
2.5 cups flour (I substituted the half cup for almond flour)
2 TBS Corn starch
Thanks for the Recipe (and for your Satay recipe as well… yum!)

Like the other reviewer, I find that the cookies were rather bland and tasteless. I used white sugar. I had to sprinkle the tops of the cookies with extra sugar for it to taste mildly sweet. Also, I had to flatten the cookies because the first tray I made, the cookies were round small balls. The cornflakes were on the verge of burning (even after 30 mins) and the insides of the cookies were still abit moist. The second tray I flatten the cookies and the insides were cooked perfectly. Not the greatest recipe but a good recipe to do with kids. My four year old enjoyed making this simple recipe. The cookies do look exactly like the picture but they are not light and crisp. They are heavier cookies. Maybe need to increase the butter ratio if you want lighter cookies.

Hi. these cookies look tempting and i am going to give it a try. but i am thinking to add choc chips. Yummy! Do you think i should reduce the amount of sugar? If so, how much? Thanks!

Tried this recipe following everything but the result did notturn out good. The cookies is dry and heavy. I like the corn flakes cookies light and crunchy. Its this recipe suppose to be light or heavy?L

Hmmm I am not sure what happened, the cookies are exactly like the pictures.

The look is ok just the texture. Hard and dry. If reduce the cooking time its also still dry and not crunchy.
